Kavaledurga Fort – A day Visit with Family [27.08.2016]

Place always vary from time to
time; most glorious period is Monsoon. Yes! indeed, I had been at Kavaledurga
in summer and monsoon.

The first visit was in summer with friends while
attending the Yakshagana play at my friend home, this time in peak Monsoon with
my kid and better half on weekend 27th August 2016.

Kavaledurga is ruined fort near
Thirthahalli [Shivamogga District] which is around 60 KMs away from home
[Muniyalu]. It was my first skill test of Agumbe Ghat ascend driving and I completed
successfully.

My son “SUMUKH” had lot of questions
during the journey. We parked the car in the parking lot, continued our small
trek towards Fort.

Rain was pouring
heavily in between a small break. I had
not seen even a single vehicle or traveler on the way.

Sumukh started his innocent queries
and which thoughts were passing in his mind. “Why we are going to this fort when people
are not there? What are the wild animals in this surrounding? If snake come out
bite us? if thieves attack on us?......” endless. Really, he was scared about the lonely place
with monsoon heavy rain.

Our conversation went
on and reached the fort. Lonely fort was
looking so beautiful decorated by green. We spent good time, son and better
half were so happy to taking this wonderful place.

Thought not to take risk,
started descending journey and reached home safely before too dark.
